The Black Legion "Banelord" should have other weapons (and call it Battlelord or something) so that the World Eaters can get "their" Banelord back.

As has already been stated the BaneLord was originally a Khornate Warlofd Titan (it first appeared in White Dwarf 164, a long, long time ago ) For some unknown reason it has become the name for any generic Chaos Warlord Titan. The weapon load out was designed to reflect this, although fluff wise the Traitor Titans have been altered to be more close range than they were at that time. i seriously think that the BL list should have an 'Undivided" option and the BaneLord be either moved to the World Eaters list or changed to an upgrade for the Undivided option.

I don't play the traitor or the heretic but I agree there should be undivided titans. Then each God specific list could run there own brand of Titan and then in the Chaos ATML list you could run a mix of them.

The stats are just "generic chaos titan" stats used for every faction. If "Banelord = Khorne" chafes, then alternatives are provided:
Quote:
The other Ruinous Powers are also known to create
twisted versions of the Banelord as well. The Nurgle
Plaguelord, Slaanesh Painlord and Tzeentch Warplord
Titans are malevolent cousins to the Banelord, all built for
the same dark purpose.

Which is fine in theory, except, the stats actually reflect the weapons load of the Khorne "Banelord" configuration Warlord Titan.
